Going to a festival and staying at home at the same time ? Yes, that's possible with the European Spiritual Film Festival (ESFF), founded by French film director / producer and Viet Vo Dao master, Marc Olivier Louveau a.k.a. Lou Ma Ho (His short movie, A Monk's Awakening, is still receiving awards in festivals around the world since 2005 !).

Actually, the first edition of this festival will be held between March 21st and April 26th, 2008, "motsly" on the festival website where everyone can submit a film (with an entry fee - last deadline is January 15th) or become a member (for free) and be able to vote for the People’s Choice Award.

A preliminary committee will select the finalists. Then the finalists' films will be online from february 20th, 2008 for the audience/members. Also, the jury panel (composed by seven personalities from the worlds of cinema and spirituality) will choose the movies for the other awards (Best Spiritual Film, Best European Spiritual Film, Best Spiritual Animation Film & Best Spiritual Documentary).
